What Type of Company is Right for You?
When choosing the company you are going to work for or want as a client, you have to keep in mind the culture of it. This is the most overlooked aspect of job selection or client selection. This is the main reason many employees with good paying jobs have given up their job for another similar one with less financial advantages and companies disassociate themselves in order to align with better people and professionalism.
The point of the using relational culture to find work or new clients is that it works to identify their characteristics, forms and the members that generate them. From here, everyone can build their own compartmental model that can help them perform as good as possible in the company. This model can presume anything, from changing the perception over work to leaving the company whose values conflict with personal values.
In a company there can coexist, in a determinant relationship, two relational culture levels.
The visible level, determined by:
- The physic products of the company (building, offices, furniture, uniform, cars) for the personnel
- Verbal products (way of speaking). This element belongs t o each company and through them there can be speculated affirmations regarding the value of the company.
- Compartmental products – rituals and ceremonies whose existence permits the company to show its identity, offering to all the employees the sensation of belonging to the group.
The invisible level – is given by the values, the capacities, the knowledge, motivation and satisfaction of every employee of the firm.
If we go from the criteria of efficiency, the relational and organizational culture can be divided in:
Relational culture of progress: the personnel of the firm is able to achieve purposes in a short time, values of the employees are linked as: action, change, development. It can exist in two forms: democratic or dictatorial.
Relational culture of regress: personnel values tend to make them work less and less. This goes especially to over-centralized, state organizations. Employees take chances because the boss wants to, without being aware of the necessity for that specific chance. They will continue working just like before, only now a new manner would be asked for, so they will continue working badly, with poor results.
Keep the culture of a company in mind before applying to either be an employee or take them on as a client. It is for this reason Informational Interviews should always be implemented prior to soliciting a potential company for business or work.
